I am sure that many of you are looking forward to completing the Census form over the weekend, what else would you do on a spring weekend!? However we understand that there is some concern over whether landlords or agents are required to do so for unoccupied properties.

It is the householders of a property that are compelled by law to complete the census questionnaire. Landlords have no such legal obligation but they are encouraged to do so.

The census is used to understand the population and to plan for the future for such things as healthcare therefore it is the landlords choice to complete one form or two.
